ICC webinar update: simplified wall
bracing, based on the 2012 IRC.
 
 
This webinar provided an explanation of the 2012 International Residential Code (IRC) simplified wall bracing requirements. It focused on basic requirements and steps through the process of applying the simplified wall bracing procedure.

The objectives of the webinar were:

  • Identify methods of resistance of a dwelling to lateral forces such as high winds or earthquakes.
  • Identify bracing requirements of Section R602.12 of the IRC.
  • Use the simplified wall bracing provisions of Section R602.12 of the IRC.
ICC hosted this webinar in April with 85 participants. "Yes, we enjoyed the convenience of the webinar and the training benefit we received," said Assistant Building Official Aubrey Long. "We will definitely take advantage of future events." "Really great format and content," added Plans Examiner Kim Barker.
